Maritime Airborne SOA Integration

CTIs solution for the Maritime Airborne SOA Integration SBIR program provides a comprehensive Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) that will leverage the connectivity of the GIG to enable Network Centric interoperability and collaboration between Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Forces (MPRF) airborne platforms, sensor systems and authorized users. This SOA will provide a flexible, automatically reconfigurable architecture for the tasking, authorization, authentication, and Situational Awareness for MPRF systems. The solution will also provide a process for incorporation of legacy systems into the SOA. This architecture will be used to develop a concept demonstration for Phase II that will demonstrate and validate the feasibility of the system to operate in a tactical airborne maritime environment. CTI will use its extensive airborne Navy and USMC Electronic Warfare (EW) and Net Centric experience to research and develop an innovative SOA and set of data schemas that are applicable to the MPRF domain.CTI will also leverage our development of a similar SOA for the USMC Air Ground Task Force EW (MAGTF-EW) to provide lessons learned and ensure a robust architecture. CTI will ensure that the developed architecture and data schemas fully comply with customer requirements and will support a successful concept demonstration during Phase II.
